IIHS Top Safety Pick Criteria and Accomplishments

To achieve the 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK award, vehicles are required to exhibit good ratings in various challenging tests, including the small overlap front, original moderate overlap front, and updated side test. Vehicles must feature acceptable or good-rated headlights across all trim levels, and an acceptable or good rating in the revised pedestrian front crash prevention evaluation, which replaces the previous daytime and nighttime tests with a comprehensive single evaluation incorporating both daylight and nighttime scenarios.

The 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 successfully meets the stringent criteria required for the award. Depending on the trim level, it features acceptable or good headlights. Its standard front crash prevention system secures an acceptable rating in the IIHS pedestrian test.

While the Volkswagen ID.4 did not undergo the updated moderate overlap front test, it maintains eligibility for the esteemed TOP SAFETY PICK designation. To qualify for the higher-tier TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, an acceptable or good rating in the revised test is mandatory, which the ID.4 has not undergone.
